Chapter 7: Problems Arises
"Not for long" Tyr mumbled under his breath.
"Huuuh? I couldn't hear you, Lieutenant?" Ory said trying to get a reaction out of Tyr.
I was seated at the end of the table, Ory was on the other side. I quickly looked around the room and I quickly spotted someone.
It was Anakin fucking Skywalker.
And he realized what I was doing, I was looking for allies.
I was caught by his eyes and I couldn't look away. That's when he nodded and made a thumbs up sign, and oh god I understood it completely.
I quickly looked around the room and caught the eyes of 6 guys from our unit.
We had been in these situations multiple times, but now my men were warfare tested and I had much more confidence in them. Usually I wouldn't engage in fights when they were twice our numbers.
I turned to Ory.
"So, Captain Ory, why did you get promoted? You didn't participate in Geonosis did you?" I asked, and he quickly got proud.
"No, the Captain who I worked for was sent to war in a different unit since we weren't ready and he died, so I took over." He said with confidence, believing he was chosen for his skill and ability to lead when the Captain was gone.
"Oh, so you were so terrible at training ur unit that you failed to get them ready for war, which me and Tyr managed. But not only that, you personally wasn't qualified to join the war, which all of my troops were. And lastly you replaced the old Captain which means you weren't meant to become Captain, but he died. Isn't that it?" I said with some arrogance in my facial expression.
And it worked, it quickly got a reaction out of Ory and his entire face became red in anger. My Lieutenants were trying to keep it away from a fight, but with my interaction I basically told them we would fight. But not only Ory became insulted, his men did too.
Soon enough my Lieutenants began insulting them.
"oooh, did little tomato red Ory become angry? If he doesn't calm down he will explode." Cheek said being extremely amused.
"Perhaps he became flushed due to my immense muscles, want to kiss them?" Gonk said going along with it.
"No, it must be that his men. They are all red, perhaps they all want your muscles Gonk." Stenge said insulting the 15 men around us.
"I don't agree, they are clearly just exhausted from sucking Ory The Sweetheart's cock." Tyr said, and with that all hell broke loose. Immediately after Tyr spoke I signaled for my men to move.
Orys stepped forward to punch Tyr, but Tyr saw it coming miles away and jumped to the side, he couldn't counter because Tyr was sitting.
Before any of his men could move Cheek was on them, he grabbed the food tray and smashed it into the second largest guy he saw. Gonk didn't even stand up and simply threw himself at the largest guy. He smashed his right shoulder into the guys stomach and smashed him into the ground while laying over him.
Stenge threw the food on his food tray at someone before using his feet to tackle the guy while stenge was sitting. He then stood up and smashed the head of an unlucky guy with it. The guy lost consciousness and the tray was bent.
Stenge kicked the balls of the guy on the ground before turning to a third guy and engaging him.
Meanwhile Tyr had regained himself and was engaging Orys in a one on one.
That's when I saw one of Orys men walking up behind Tyr trying to cheap hit him. I quickly stood up, gripped my tray and spinned while standing up, and when my arm reached the direction of the guy I released the tray. The tray shot straight of my hands and into the side of his neck, knocking him out cold. And like that 5 of them was out. Gonk was still engaging the largest one and Cheek was fighting one guy as well with a new tray. 5 men who were at the back charged me, wanting to take out the leader. However my five men reached them just in time and tackled them from the side. The war had made their chemistry increasingly better and therefore they organized themselves so everyone took 1, however the 5 Ory men didn't see them coming and was therefore now on the ground getting attacked by 5 men standing above them.
However someone managed to come through who wasn't from the 5 men and I engaged him.
I quickly recognized and understood he was Ory's Lieutenant, he had a calm facial expression and was looking around, he was the brains eh.
I quickly threw a right hook which he blocked, I then followed on by using my right elbow to smash into his forearm making him stagger back.
We then stood over each other waiting for the next move.
"Why are you doing this? You have never attacked us when I was there?"
"That is because you were a higher rank than Orys before, but now you're equal." the Lieutenant spoke.
"That's where you are wrong. There is an unwritten rule to not engage with a higher ranking officer. And you just engaged with 4 men higher than Ory and 1 equal." I said.
His eyes shot wide open and horror began to spread through his face but he calmed down.
"What do you m-mean? You are a Captain, Tyr a Lieutenant, Stenge, Cheek and Gonk is Second Lieutenants?" He asked with suspicious eyes.
"Do you really think we returned from that without any promotions? I'm a Commander, Tyr is a Major, Stenge and Cheek is Colonels. While Gonk is Captain of the 104th Legion's Heavy Battalion. I lead the 104th Legion, Tyr, Cheek and Stenge leads the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Regiments." I said with excitement.
His eyes immediately went even wider and horror returned to his face. Without even thinking or informing his men he ran off.
"Smart man." I said under my breath. Had he informed his men he would give away his identity as apart of his unit, but now he can be anyone from anywhere.
Nobody realized he ran off and I quickly joined the other guys in their fights. Soon after each of the guys finished of their guys, only Tyr and Ory was still fighting. Tyr had the hardest enemy and he wasn't out best fighter, however he was still winning. Tyr was extremely good at dodging and blocking and therefore Ory hadn't even gained a single clean shot, meanwhile Tyr had gotten in multiple solid hits, but nothing gamebreaking. However Ory was getting exhausted and damaged.
And so after only 50 seconds later, Ory was knocked out cold by a decisive knuckle to the head.
I quickly turned to my officers.
"Scramble, meet me at my office." And with that they ran off, we had done this multiple times. There was too many fights for the Kamino Guards to check every single one, they just apprehended everyone still at the scene, they got a few days in detention and then it was over, no interrogation or cameras.
I then turned to the five guys who joined us during the battle.
"Thank's for coming to help. What's your guys names?" I asked
"Nester"
"Lony"
"Dax"
"Silk"
"Viking"
"Alright, I'll remember this, now scramble." And with that they ran off and I quickly ran off too. I went straight to my office, it only took a minute at running speed.
When I arrived the 4 guys was sitting around at the room, 2 in my bed, 1 at the wall and Tyr was sitting on my desk.
"Aight, anybody get hurt?" I asked looking at them.
"Nah, only a few hits on a few arms, other than that we good." Tyr said.
"Great, aight let's talk about why we're really here." I said and all of them got serious.
"I got promoted to Commander of the 104th Legion, under the 9th Sky Corp led by Marshal Commander Wollfie and General Plo Koon. We will gain 1 battle experienced Regiment and our own battalion + 3 new battalions + 2 new regiments. Colonel Sinker will lead the experienced regiment. Tyr will be promoted to Major, lead our own 1/4 regiment and be 2nd in command of the legion. Cheek will lead the 1st new regiment and Stange the 2nd new regiment. Additionally Gonk will lead the Heavy Battalion, which will be under Tyr." I said and they all took some time to absorb these news. This was a big change as most of them got promoted 3 steps and Gonk 2 steps. This was great news.
"This is great! I finally get my Heavy Unit!! Whohoo!" And of course, Gonk was the first to respond about it. He probably didn't even think.
"Damn, this means we're all at the breach of officer rank and Dust is already at command rank." Stenge said
"Yeah, this is great. To think following Dust would take me this far, greatest choice the ARC Troopers ever made was putting me with Dust." Cheek said happily.
"Yeah, Dust is truly the best isn't he," Tyr said with a smile.
"Wait, hold on, hold on. I only got this far cause of ya'll. I would have never made it this far if you didn't support me. So it's not just because of me, it's also because of you guys." I said with a smile, and with that we began having small talk for 3 more hours till they all eventually left to go to sleep. We would need to begin organizing our men tomorrow and meet Sinker. We would also have to prepare for takeoff and the war which would start on Dantooine in 4 months which was a bloody as battle. That big ass crushing machine would cause heavy casualities. We would need to stay back In that battle.
And with that I went to sleep, I had shit ton of stuff to do tomorrow.
My eyes opened in shock as I threw my head off the bed and I sat on my bed.
"Fucking nightmares" I thought to myself. I had came back into the trenches but this time Ventress had arrived and she was slaughtering my men, they had no ability to defend.
As I sat there staring into nothing my mind finally realized something.
This isn't the world of fucking laser weapons, it's the world of space wizards. No matter how good my aim get, no matter how good I am with a knife, no matter my brain. I cannot best Darth Maul, Count Dooku, Asaj Ventress, Anakin, Mace, Yoda and Plo Koon. And I need something that can counter this.
Flamethrowers? No they can just force boost it.
Stun weapons? Might work but not good enough.
"Think fucking think Dust!" I muttered.
What was it that Jedi feared? The droideka? Yes, but how the fuck do I get that, no I need something else.
Magna Droids? No, that's not right I can never get them.
Then equip clones with shock staff? I mean that could work but they will never be as strong as Magna Droids, due to Magna droids being tall and they can spin all their limbs, plus extreme strength.
What force could fight against the Jedi and the Sith? Throughout history and currently.
"The Mandalorians!" I exclaimed loudly.
This could work. Obi-Wan struggled to fight even one of these guys with Lightsabers.
Now how am I supposed to get mandalorians to fight for me? Even more, no matter what I do my future is grim. I need to plan ahead. I need to get myself some money but I can't get myself a job either, and we don't get paid so my only choice is stealing or criminal world of Coruscant.
Well I gotta take that when it comes to it. I can try to join General Kenobi on his Mandalorian diplomatic mission but even that will be hard. But I need teammates. I'm probably gonna begin corrupting Tyr, Cheek, Gonk and Stange. And maybe even Fives.
Well let's deal with that later, now I've gotta meet my men.
I then looked at the time. 6:43 AM. Shit I woke up too early. Oh well let's just go and train a bit.
I took on my off-duty gear consisting of a black long sleeved shirt with the Republic on the middle and the normal white combat pants. I equipped myself with a knife and a DC17 Pistol and walked out. The training area was 7 minutes away. I wasn't headed to the Citadel. I was headed to the close combat training yard. If I wanted to do some underworld missions I needed to up my hand to hand and knife skills.
Soon enough I arrived the entrance was a few stairs down to the training area when 16 16x16 areas stood with a droid in the middle and a control panel on the entrance of the 16x16 area. There you could choose Knife, sword, hand to hand and other stuff.
As I walked down the last stair I saw something interesting. There was a guy who was training with a knife, and I recognized him from somewhere.
"Who was that again?"
